This is the last of my current stock of Stag Heads for the near future and is unusual in that it is dark brass and gold.

These luxury stag head chandeliers are hand crafted with a rustic charm. Originating from the Black Forest region of southern Germany, the chandeliers feature the majestic stags that populate the area, and are delicately decorated with wild cherries, for which the forest is also known. Rare and highly sought after, the Stag Chandeliers complements the recent rise in taxidermy.

A 3 tiered Brass Stag Head Chandelier with icicle droplets. Hanging from the stags mouth are large lead harlequins and the six screw in light bulbs are hidden inside. A unique and very sought after chandelier of the moment.

Dimensions are 75cm x 60cm from stag head to stag head (exc ceiling fitting and chain).

A 2 tiered Brass Stag Head Chandelier with icicle droplets. A beautiful mix of patina and a dull antique gold frame with large harlequin drops hanging from the stag’s mouth. Would look great in living space or hallway. The six screw bulbs are hidden inside the circular frame.

The stags head chandelier is traditionally associated with the Black Forest region of Germany which is why many of them, in addition to the stags heads, also feature garnitures depicting cherries which we more commonly associate with the Black Forest through its association with Black Forest Gateau because of the abundance of wild cherry trees in the region.

They were made throughout the C20th but most date from the middle of the century. Outside Germany they are/were extremely popular in large Victorian houses and further afield in North America and Canada where they are highly sought after for hunting lodges as a more prestigious alternative to the North American antler chandelier which are made from real antler. Indeed the antler chandelier, early examples of which were handmade by hunters, is probably the origin of this style of chandelier.

They are extremely rare because they were used mainly in hallways and lodges and could only be afforded by the wealthiest of Gentlemen. Now due to the very popular trend of taxidermy and the rarity of the Stag Head Chandelier, they have become a most sought after light and make a great focal piece.
